Screen Ah, yes, the screen. Someday, perhaps, Acer will have laptops that can compete with the big boys in screens, but for now, there is nothing we can do but sigh and squint a bit. The screen is an LCD, and a faded one at that.

The integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator GMA X 3D graphics deliver enhanced video and graphics performance for running business applications and delivering impressive presentations. The Acer TravelMate 5320 ATI VGAwith its sleek black and grey business design on the outside, is much nicer than I expected. Inside, there is an interesting metallic strip around the touch-pad and a shiny metallic strip which houses your typical LED indicator lights.

At first, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the lid, since the Acer TravelMate 5320 ATI VGA added some much needed glamour to a plain design. However, as I continue to use this machine, I find the metallic strip to be a bit tacky, and with time, it will look even more dated as it will surely get scratched. On the bright side, the main build is solid.

Apparently the newer models like mine I would assume include the newer DASP technology, if we can call it that, which is a complete rubber shell around the hard drive. This worries me a bit, but hopefully I will never have to test Acer TravelMate 5320 ATI VGA feature.
